Left Saturday evening on British Air. We were late from the start and then late from there on until I arrived in Paris Sunday evening about 7:30. The phone activated wonderfully and I was able to use it without a hitch. The hotel is 2 star and acts like it is 1/2 star but it is a place to sleep and use as a base. The night person is nice and helpful but the day lady is less than helpfull as she wants only to read her Koran. Talking about multi-racial! Well, they have it here to the max. and it certainly seems to work well at least in this section of town. It is wonderful to see people of different races mingling without any not so hidden agendas.
If the spelling and grammer goes south from here on out; well that is what happens when I don't have a spell checker and extra time to go over the writings.
As Dusty, the one who could carry a 50 pound pack, has appropriately decided not to come with me and my back is getting a little iffy I have decided to make a change in the plan and cut off 430 kilometers from the start place. So, naturally I have to leave from a different train station after I picked this hotel to be right next to Gare de Lyon. Now I am going out at 6:10 tomorrow morning from Gare Montparnasse. I have run back and forth on the metro between the train stations a couple of times but as the metro does not open until 5:30 I am not sure that is the way to get there in 40 minutes. I ran it in 25 minutes this last time now that I know the way, but who knows how it will be in the morning. I hope that the night desk person will know when the taxis start at the train station. Sure hope that I can go to sleep tonight so that I am on Paris time tomorrow morning.
